Sunday night through most of Monday I travelled an unnecessarily high amount of hours from Hawaii to San Francisco to Klamath Falls, Oregon to Portland to Seattle.The three stops were due to a cancelled connecting flight, something I fortunately rarely have to deal with because, man alive, it throws a kink in things.The long journey was worth it, though.I arrived late Monday afternoon to dreamy Seattle summer weather sunny and a little crisp.As I mentioned in my last post, Im here for a meeting of the National Fisheries Institute executive committee, and I had just enough time to check in to my hotel room, shower, and head out for a welcome dinner with the group.Our transportation to the restaurant was a beautiful boat ride down Lake Washington.It doesnt get much better than a tour of Seattles stunning waterfront while sampling simple seafood hors doeuvres.
